100 series IFS CV joints servicing - any special tools required?

You would normally replace the CV joint.

While yours may need more you can buy boots that virtually zip up after you put them on Just cut the old ones off fit these over the axle and zip them up and put the clamps at each end

Hi Moose, If they are Klicking its too late, youneed to replace torn boot when grease starts coming out, before it fillsup with dirt. A new joint is the order of the day unfortunately cheers Daryl

My experience with halfshafts and CV's (the humvee has them on all four corners) is that unless you are experienced in disassembly and reassembly it is far cheaper and quicker to take them to a cv/driveshaft place for repair/service/fitting new boots than it is attempting to do it yourself.
Make sure they use either genuine or replacement boots that match OE specs as all boots are not created equal and new clips.
If you want to have a go at doing it yourself, have a tub of moly grease, new boots and clips for both ends and any new bits that may require replacement in the actual cv.
in my case only one end actually comes off the shaft towards the end (I suspect they may all be the same so you have to thump it extremely hard to pop it off over the circlip without wrecking it, when it is off then the whole shaft passes through the other end.
Reassembly is the reverse as they say, boots of course go on before the final end goes on and then you need the special tool to fit the clips.
If the CV's are worn and clicking you are better off to either buy new genuine or find a cv place that can do either rebuilds or exchange.
Running with damaged boots wrecks the joint VERY quickly as the grease gets ejected and dirt enters, water+ dirt+grease makes very good grinding paste.
I've made temporary repairs by cleaning the boot well with acetone or Rema Tip Top buffing fluid and then applying sikaflex and allowing it to cure overnight before driving. Sometimes this repair has lasted for a couple of years, usually when small (6mm sticks) have pierced the boot.
